Ecuador's president adds new questions to proposed referendum focused on crime

Ecuadoreans will be asked to weigh in on an expanded list of questions proposed by President Daniel Noboa, including a push to allow for extraditions of citizens accused of crimes in other countries, according to a government statement on Monday. Early last year, voters rejected a similar attempt at undoing the South American country's ban on extraditions. The plebiscite, which still needs approval from the country's top court, would largely focus on boosting the government's crime-fighting efforts, including allowing for asset seizures from suspected criminals and yanking illegal mining concessions implicated in other crimes such as drug trafficking.
